The dissertation is now ‘done and dusted’ and only needs to be bound. The the last element in this module is a presentation on the subject which will be given some time before Easter.
Now working on the final show alongside a proposal for a commission. The latter is taking more time than planned but it is getting there…it will of course contribute towards the ‘Creative Futures’ module if it comes to nought!
My final show is about ‘testing affectors of the sublime’ as proposed by Edmund Burke. Currently there is one site-specific installation, one micro-environment and a double-ended vitrine enabling a comparison of beauty vs sublime’.
The latter is based around the appearence of secession found in road-underpasses under differing lighting and soundscapes. This piece is the most advanced, with the glass-tanks sourced and the ‘support pillars’ constructed and currently being painted. I am producing an “architectural model” aesthetic, resulting in simple physically identical environments differing only by light quality and intensity and the degree of haze.
